arent all monsters male :)

i feel for you , i had a very similar situation , whereas i was having problems and after much therapy and what not i was diagnosed with complex ptsd, of course it created havoc in my marriage , and i just started to feel helpless , like i had created all this damage and had very few resources...

if he is supposedly an all loving god , why would he punish you as such ?

i have experienced the mental health system in 4 states , along with another country. In all honesty i think the services here range from good to excellent. Sure ive had some questionable therapists and have had the run around in ER , but in all honesty i think its a matter of how you access the...

i was going to respond earlier but had to change my avatar as it had a gun image from our fundraising campaign. As much as i had the pic of the gun, i can certainly relate to how you feel, ive had a few gun experiences and strangely i dont get triggered by seeing them , but do get triggered when...

use your hands....rather than try and gain traction with your voice...use your hands ..raise them , put a finger out there as a point to hold the conversation up, and take it from there ...use body language ..if speaking to someone and they become overpowering...move your foot slightly into...

can relate fully Sammy, had a major meltdown a few weeks back, same thing....so many sudden changes and new symptoms...when will it end ...it can be very distressing at times. What i done to help , was joined an educational group that deals with living with a mental illness...i was cynical at...

It was honest open and too the point....

there is no sound advice..your dealing with a serious mental illness and its not like you sprinkle some pixie dust and its all fixed, if you dont want peoples advice...dont ask for it.

Im so sorry to hear your going through this , im 12mths in on my seperation and yes its been tough. But like you have shown, its not the end of the world , in fact its the beginning of a new one , one in which you dont have to seek approval or consider anothers feelings, one in which you are...

...you say you love this man , but you've never met him ? its easy to conduct a relationship on line as there is no true accountability or responsibility, you can say what you like and be who you like. You say he wont let you meet him...dosent this worry you , he then tells you his trauma as and...

i had a situation with a previous T , i cancelled an appt 48hrs before time , he sent me an email that bordered on abusive about how important his time was and how he had a long waiting list etc etc , he then confronted me in my session as well. A couple of appts later he didnt even turn up , i...

We never know what we will encounter at times , i remember my first real bout at Prolonged exposure therapy, i was flying to Australia a week later, and it sent me into a complete tailspin, i spent a lot of my time having trouble getting out of bed , i was a mess and none of my family could...

i agree with Solara on this, i think its incredibly arrogant rude and unprofessional. If you were seeing any other pprofessional on the same basis as a t , they would naturally tell you when they will be gone for a month. I tell my clients when i wont be around , even if its for a few days...

i have the same problem , physc meds make me far worse and anxiety meds work for a short time and then remove my defenses leading me to more problems. But i am also aware medication is very much an individual preference and it does work for some. i can understand you wanting to stop, talk to...

I hear you loud and clear and fully understand, i do have that connection and am grateful for it, i think it just takes time and the sharing of some commonalities and so forth

lol dancing bull no need to apologize i heard where you were coming from. I still battle with not wanting to run off to Africa, i am very much aware its an opportunity to have adventure and what not, and believe me when i say its almost a weekly struggle, as i have an open invitation to work top...

lol so true Friday and an excellent point, lets start a new crusade ...onward and forward atheist soldiers :)

i dont feel support from my t, but then to be honest i dont really search for it openly nor fully understand the meaning of support from a T. I have a great t, i think the world of her and trust her, but i have never truly thought about the support thing. I see her weekly, we talk , work on...

good luck and be safe and well

I have no problems with nudity etc , what i do have a problem with is the overt sexialization involved in marketing, since the launch of the internet and ready access to porn , it has influenced general marketing to the point that before the internet ,the public would have been outraged as what...

i am ambivalent and with no offense am not going to herald it as a major breakthrough , instead i am going to give you a question to ponder. I think because you have been in a constant upheaval /depression, that searching out another dangerous experience is in reality a complex ptsd reaction...

many many people keep a journal or a diary, it can be an excellent way to keep track of whats going on etc, and also good at looking back on to see how far you have come, but having said that i myself have been hopeless at trying to maintain a journal for ptsd or any other thing, its not that i...

The fact it gives you hope is reason enough for it to be a step in the right direction, just keep using it and believing in it and once it is spent you'll probably find many more things to give you hope and motivation to keep going forward..Good luck and i wish you the best

i have no need to read it again and will not engage in abuse, i stated my case clearly and with no offensive language, and frankly your last comment is like water off a ducks back. We all share our experiences , of course we do , its a support forum , im sorry if i offended you but i found about...
